I took no photos of exhibits in the Musèe. There were a few artifacts concerning writing, e.g., pages of old handwritten Qur'ans,
which I found interesting; as well as some mathematical and astronomical instruments - e.g. Astrolabes - from the Golden Age of Islam. Aside from that,
I found the exhibition rather meager. I found the shop selling Arab wares across from the main building more inspiring. Of course,
operating the museum isn't actually what the IMA is all about.

Designed by the architect Jean Nouvel, this 1987 building is the smallest of François Mitterand's
Grands Projets to symbolize France's central role in art, politics and the world economy.
Nouvel paired the aesthetic of traditional Arabic latticework screens with high-tech steel-and-glass,
using 30,000 photovoltaic mechanical diaphragms to automatically control light penetration and interior climate.
